It is informed by the writings of George Steiner, who advanced a typology of difficult forms in poetry. The major works of Jack Chambers (The Hart of London), Michael Snow (La Region Centrale), and Joyce Wieland (Reason Over Passion) illustrate the ways in which a poetic vanguard in cinema is anchored in an aesthetic of difficulty.

    JETS #32 Q8:text 23/04/09 12:38 PM Page 89 NINA MAY (PICKEL) OWENS, 1869–1959: ENGLISH QUEBEC’S EARLY “INDEPENDENT” WOMAN/ARTIST1 Lesley Tarasoff Bishop’s University Lesley Tarasoff is a fourth year student of History and Women’s Studies at Bishop’s University. She is the Students’ Representative Council’s Corporation Representative, the President of Bishop’s chapter of the Golden Key International Honors Society, and a key member of the Diversity Coalition. She is currently applying to graduate school in the field of Women’s and Gender Studies. Under the supervision of Bishop’s professors, Dr. Jean Manore and Dr. Cheryl Gosselin, and with the financial support of the Eastern Townships Research Centre, Ms. Tarasoff had the opportunity to delve into the Margaret Owens archival holdings, the Brome County Historical Association archives and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts Library and Archives, in addition to having the chance to review archival material collected by Margaret Owens, Nina Owens’ granddaughter. Ms. Tarasoff’s spent a year exploring the life and work of Nina May (Pickel) Owens and it can clearly be seen in the article below that the young 21st century student connected and indeed fell in love with the 19th century Eastern Townships artist. —Editor ABSTRACT Nina May (PicKeL) Owens, one of Canada’s earLiest women artists, was born in BoLton Centre, Quebec, on June 16, 1869. Though few have heard her name and seen her work, Nina’s life and experiences as both a woman in the domestic sphere and as an artist provide a weaLth of KnowLedge about women and women artists of her time.

  • On Art Clubs and Classrooms: Navigating Artist/Teacher Identities by Looking at Anne Savage and Arthur Lismer
    On Art Clubs and Classrooms: Navigating Artist/Teacher Identities by Looking at Anne Savage and Arthur Lismer Joanna Black, University of Manitoba This article is dedicated to: students I have taught who are on the brink of pursuing careers in art education while desiring to foster their professional art practice, and Leah Sherman, and her part in the enriched experiences I had in the 1980s at Concordia University and the Museum of Fine Arts in Montreal. Through her, I was touched by the legacies of both Anne Savage and Arthur Lismer. “Do you think I can still ‘make’ my art when I teach?’ ask many soon to be teachers on the cusp of graduating from Bachelor of Education programs. They are uncertain about their ability to maintain their emerging artistic practice while teaching, and it is fitting to ask this key question given the two key role models seen by today’s graduates. On the one hand, their own university studio teachers are a dominant model representing the leading edge of art practice through the few tenure track positions at Schools of Art within higher education at the university. These young professional artists simultaneously maintain their ongoing artwork and exhibitions while having a career as a university art instructor/professor and it is expected and indeed vital that they continue art production. The second model, and the most immediate career path for most graduates in Art Education is within the kindergarten to grade twelve (K-12) public and alternative teaching profession, where there are few, if any professional expectations, pressures (or support) for K-12 art teachers to maintain a professional art practice.

  • New Books on Five Trailblazing Artists Coming Soon 2020 & 2021
    NEW BOOKS ON FIVE TRAILBLAZING ARTISTS COMING SOON 2020 & 2021 The Art Canada Institute is delighted to announce the release of our next season of publications. They are five books that will become part of the Canadian Online Art Book Project, our growing library, which now has over 40 titles available online. Each of the books below will be published simultaneously in English and French, and in desktop, tablet, and PDF formats—and they will be available to audiences, free of charge, domestically and around the world to make Canadian art history a contemporary conversation. The following books shed new light on five groundbreaking figures and how their lives and works changed the country’s cultural landscape. Here’s a preview of the books and why these artists are ones you’ll want to know more about. We look forward to sharing these titles with you in the months ahead. Sara Angel Founder and Executive Director, Art Canada Institute WILLIAM BRYMNER: LIFE & WORK by Jocelyn Anderson November 2020 William Brymner, A Wreath of Flowers, 1884, National Gallery of Canada Without William Brymner (1855–1925), the Canadian Impressionist movement would not have taken root, and the pioneering Beaver Hall Group would not have had such a progressive stance on gender. Group of Seven members A.Y. Jackson and Arthur Lismer credited him with transforming art in Montreal. Brymner is arguably the country’s most esteemed arts educator, counting among his students iconic Canadian painters, including Edwin Holgate, Clarence Gagnon, Prudence Heward, Anne Savage, and Helen McNicoll. A man ahead of his time, Brymner is revered as the father of modern Canadian painting.
